Just what the title suggests, here's the place to tell about your latest purchase of comics-related STUFF... or that dream item just out of reach monetarily or temporally.
Last year, a POLARIS minibust was produced-- I still kick myself for missing out on it! It's showing up now on EBAY for prices upwards of $100-- too rich for my blood!
What are you salivating for in the coming months? Or what did you just buy that delighted or disappointed you?

I started an overexcited thread hereabouts awhile ago, with regards to the 70's Adam Warlock bust from Diamond Select I was preordering. I've had the thing for awhile now, and I'm still as thrilled with it as I was the day I opened it.
Just this past week, Gary ( ) helped me get the SA Batgirl mini-bust from DCDirect for 1/2 price! Thanks, boss!
I've got the Bowen Thanos minibust, The full-size Thanos statue, most of the animated Gotham Grrls statues (still looking for the Harley Quinn maquette at a reasonable price on eBay)... and I'm waiting for the Kitty & Lockheed bust to ship.
I preorder my stuff from DCBS-- 35% off list for the DCDirect stuff, 25%or more off most of the Marvel stuff. Check 'em out at www.dcbservice.com when yo uget a chance.
They've got the Harley Quinn marionnette at a decent price, too... better than most I've seen on eBay...

I've picked up both the minis of Phoenix/Dark Phoenix and the classic/modern Cyclops. Don't buy as much as I used to. My prized statue is the original Batman on gargoyle that came out in 1992. Now THAT was an investment. I also got into a kick a bit back and bought all (then out) mini light sabers. Now if I just had a place on my desk to display them.
I saw a solicit for DC in April for a new Batman mini that I might buy, especially with the discount from DCBS.
Still waiting on my Phoenix action figure I ordered through them that was supposed to come out in December.
And Caroline always winds up getting one of the Buffy statues when they come out. I think I've gotten her most of them to date.

I recently got a 5" version of the ATOMIC ROBOT MAN from Schylling Collector Series. It's a replica of a 1950s tin wind-up toy robot. Very clunky looking, though when it walks, it's cool to watch. There was also an 11" version, but I didn't wanna spring for that. As I said, "clunky"-- but the reason I bought it was, it's the robot I based the current version of STORMROBOT on! (see my MB icon-- heehee)

I've got pretty much every Phoenix out right now, except for the recent Dark Phoenix limited variant Marvel Legends figure.
Slightly different, I love my 20th Annviersary Optimus Prime.
And I *need* that limited Dark Phoenix HeroClix that's available at the cons this summer...but I'm pretty sure there won't be any around by the time I hit Boston.

Do you mean this one?
I've had it on order since last October and it still hasn't been released yet. It was supposed to be released in January by Diamond Select.

Scott-- I think the regular MARVEL LEGENDS line had a Dark Phoenix chase figure... the regular release (also short-packed, but not AS)was the classic green and gold figure.

*nods* Pov got it. I've got the green/yellow one. That was the normal version, packed one per case. The Dark Phoenix version was then randomly replaced, so was even rarer than one per case. And is currently expensive. My eyes are on the lookout for it, though.
As for the other Phoenix you mentioned LL, yeah. I'm waiting for that one (And it's variant) to come out as well.
Obsessed? Moi?

Can anyone point me to a pic of the Kitty & Lockheed bust? It's likely way out of my price-range but as they're two of my favorite characters I'm curious what it looks like.

I lucked across a MARVEL LEGENDS Iceman and Black Widow last night... these are the first ML figures I've bought, other than Namor.
There's a lot to like about these... though Widow's neck looks like she has a goiter unless you angle her head so she's looking down (which you couldn't do with a DC Direct figure). And Iceman has a multi-piece base which I can't get to stay together.
But they're so articulated, they're like anatomical models for an artist... or maybe a coroner.
If only they'd release Polaris, Valkyrie (with winged horse), Crystal (with Lockjaw), Black Bolt, Northstar, Quicksilver and Cannonball.
Wave Todd-- I'd keel over in a coma!
If either company issued your fantasy wave that had the seven or so of the figures you wanted most, what would that coma-inducing wave comprise?
